This blog started as a place to chronicle my attempt at rekindling a long ago romance in spite of the fact that we were both married to others but evolved into a journal of my sexual revolution and now what is hopefully my maturation into a fully functional adult.

Quick Tidbits

The old house sold. This is good news because now the financial picture becomes clearer and easier to manage.

W is becoming involved in the community here. This is good news because I believe that will make him less likely to disappear to parts unknown when the split happens.

N and I spent some nice mom & son time together yesterday and have plans to do so again tonight. The more time without W the better off we seem.

My EAP counselor is concerned that in spite of being on anti-depressants and feeling better than I did a year ago that I still exhibit several symptoms of depression. She recommended I call my Dr. and check on upping the anti-depressant and/or getting sleeping pills. I think that I feel so much better I didn't identify this need as easily as fresh eyes looking at the situation.

I was musing to myself on this morning, the Dreaded Day of Departure, if I should expect to "medicate" myself against these circumstances within which any "normal" mother would be depressed?!? I'm not superhuman despite outward appearances to the contrary, ha ha.[So I've completely cut out the Wellbutrin pending consult w/new dr; just taking Trazodone (sleeping pill) every 2nd or 3rd night as needed to get some rest...]

Val - No, you aren't superhuman. Nobody expects you to be. My unsolicited advice (although you did post this comment on my blog so it isn't completely unsolicited now is it? ;-) ) is that you shouldn't medicate yourself to mitigate feelings that are normal and rational. Let yourself feel them and work through them.

Words to Live By

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors...but they all exist very nicely in the same box. -- Unknown

Sometimes you just do what you gotta do, mess or not. -- BJ

The power to believe in yourself, is the power to change fate.

You've got a lot of choices. If getting out of bed in the morning is a chore and you're not smiling on a regular basis, try another choice.

Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle. -- Plato

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. -- Matthew 7:1-5
